Is the space after "acpi" actually in the original? It should not be there. Also, for a failsafe setting, you might wish to consider "noapic" instead of "apic", if that is possible. You may also wish to consider adding "noresume" and "vga=normal" to the options. Otherwise, it looks good. No idea why it won't boot into runlevel 3, but for failsafe settings, you should probably be going into level 1 anyway (yes, I am aware that the default in SuSE is to set it to level 3 here).

When I boot with it it still goes to the kde desktop. I thought it was supposed to go to a console? Am I wrong?
Also the normal boot has added the elevator= what is it for? Old version did not have it. kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.1-default root=/dev/hdb5 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/hdb1 splash=silent showopts apm=power-off elevator=
